South Bay S224E keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #3174 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the South Bay S224E retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #3174 of 5780 boats we track. That is 2 points above the 62% five-year average for Pontoon in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay S224E sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,486 it falls to around $29,389 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,097, about $3.89 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used South Bay S224E bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
